Look who I'm sleeping next to .....
 

A couple of hours ago my g/f goes outside for a joint. A few minutes later she's knocking on the sliding glass door with a dog next to her. A very skinny, very hungry, obviously purebred Redbone Coonhound. Poor guy was limping around on a bad rear leg.

Anyway, we got him a deck chair mattress, I'm sleeping on a couch in the office with a smelly dog. I guess the first thing I need to do is go to the Vet, have him scanned for a chip, then see if his owner or me pays for whatever he needs. What a gentle dog.

My woman did that shit on vacation with 2 cats and a dog (not at the same time lol). All homeless. She wanted to take them all home on the plane.

No! is now my favorite word.

Yea, guess who's sound asleep in a nice king bed with crisp white sheets while I'm breathing stray dog funk on an old couch covered with a beach towel.

What you going to do if you don't find the owner?

Good question. Right now a dog that needs a whole lot of exercise and attention isn't something I'm ready for. Plus he's big. Plus I travel a lot.

He's a very mild tempered dog/breed but are known for taking off if they smell something interesting. Probably why he's at my house right now.

Honestly don't know. You looking for a new dog?


.

So err... what exactly is that interesting smell at your place? :D

Nice gesture.

i like dog

:1orglaugh, I meant he probably took off after an animal smell, got lost and that's why we found him by our house. Poor guy is whimpering and I'm not getting any sleep.

I wish shame it so far away

The vet scanned him. He had a chip!!!

I'm going back to bed.

hmm :winkwink:

Brassmonkey has animal company as well ...

Good luck! Let us know what happens. Maybe he doesn't need to go back to former owners if they were the ones neglecting him.

He did mention the GF went out to smoke a joint... :pimp

:1orglaugh:thumbsup

Nice coat

Hope he's reunited with his owner.

Good job takin' him in and lookin' after him.

I likes my chickens fried

He's cute, I am sure you will be a better owner than his last one. It sounds he was neglected for a while. Hope he works out for you. It's good what you are doing for him :thumbsup

Whatever you do... dont read the whole thread before posting :thumbsup

:thumbsup

:thumbsup

:1orglaugh

:thumbsup

I read it but still, L-Pink should keep him even if he was tagged. Did you read the first post about how malnourished the poor guy was? Still think L-Pink would be a better owner than the original one :2 cents:

Update: Stopped by the vets this morning. The owner was contacted thru the implant data company. The receptionist said the owner was a "big older guy" who spent the whole time there crying and hugging the dog.

I had no idea how nice and sweet this breed of animal was. I just hope he recovers and lives a happy dog life.

That's great end to the story, glad the owner was really happy to find his dog, I hope he makes a full recovery too. You are a good man L, who knows where the dog would have ended up if you didn't take him in :thumbsup

Awesome! Well done man :thumbsup

Good job, L-Pink :thumbsup I needed that. I've been bummed out the last few days after having to bury a sweet stray kitty that had taken up at my house. I think it was my neighbors indoor cat that had gotten out about a month before they moved. I reached out to them telling them that I thought their cat had returned, and never heard back from them. No idea how it died - I didn't inspect it closely as it had obviously been dead for at least a couple of days.

Add to that that I released the squirrel I had raised a couple of weeks ago, and have not seen her lately. The first couple of weeks after release I saw her every day when I went out to feed her (you have to continue to provide food for them for the first year of release). She would jump from a tree onto me, or up on my leg and scamper up to my shoulder to hang out, though I tried to limit this interaction. Anyway, I'm not sure if the smell of decomp drove her away or what, but I estimate that I stopped seeing her around the same time the cat died.

Best thread ever! Thanks for sharing :)

Glad things worked out for the doggie

While i was laying on the couch I put my laptop on my chest and was surfing while the hound was laying next to me. I hit a Dennis Miller video and he raised up to see what I was watching.

Photo from "photo booth" on laptop. Pretty shitty photo but very handsome/inquisitive fella. (on the left)

Awesome deed L-Pink. Glad to hear the doogie got home. Your hound looks like one happy sweet fella. The dog on the right looks pretty contempt too.

"contempt" as in contemptible ? lol

haha silly spell check fail. I meant content haha

Awww that is awesome! Thanks for doing that

Thanks for posting this, need some good things to read. Need to get back that book I was reading I guess

A lot of people who own hounds are assholes. He might be better off with you. :2 cents:

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Awww! He's a cutie.

Super cutie, and so glad for the happy ending! Sometimes, if doggers run away and are out and about for days, that could lead them to looking like he was malnourished and limping when you got him. Who knows what he got into in his time on the lamb?

Huzzah for microchips! And for owners who keep their info up-to-date! Which reminds me, I've got some kitties at home who need their chips updated.

Regarding keeping an animal if the owner's chipped him and is findable, some states have laws that would call that theft and require that vets call the cops. In others, it's more finder's keepers (after making some effort to identify the owners). If an animal is being mistreated by their owner, the local animal care and control has ways to ensure the well-being of the animal, which can include removing it from the home as needed.

Next time I hear someone saying people who work in porn have no soul I'll point them to this thread.


Nicely done LP.

Nice photo. From what horror movie it is? :)

Glad he found his home again

I applaud your compassion, L-Pink.

The world could use more of that.
